Predestinated unto the Adoption of Sons by Jesus Christ to Himself - Part VII

Bible Believers' Newsletter #590
"We focus on the present Truth – what Jesus is doing now. . ."
ISSN 1442-8660

Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We appreciate your fellowship in God's unchanging Word.

Yesterday I spoke with an astute old lady in the doctor's surgery whence the magazines had been removed and patients washed their hands in alcohol in case we spread the dreaded lurgi—man-made genocidal swine flu. The lady had detected the lies, noting "overlying symptoms" were related to every death blamed on "swine flu" by officials representing Lucifer's totalitarian one world government, and criminal organizations like the UN and WHO rather than their electors. Propaganda like the egregious claims of unprincipled politicians and corrupt scientists to control climate by a cap-and-trade Ponzi scheme designed to create global poverty, famine and depopulation did not phase this old lady. Casualties to date have all died "with" swine flu, eyes, arms and legs; not one has died "of" swine flu, eyes, arms or legs. Alien-owned media controls the unthinking mob with its spin, but according to honest medical experts, even laboratory-made swine flu will not have the potency of natural, seasonal flu, unless and until compulsory inoculation of live viruses transforms this hoax into the genocide planned by the Protocols.

Can one trust a government that experimented on its own people without their knowledge or consent (including providing poor mothers with plutonium-laced baby cereal and monitoring the infants to see how quickly they developed cancer)? Or Baxter International which claims it has just now devised a process whereby it can make swine flu vaccine ahead of its competitors, but filed its patent on swine flu vaccine on August 28 2007? Should mandatory vaccination cause injury or serious side effects, vaccine manufactures, doctors, federal, state and county health departments in the US are immune from prosecution. In other words, you will be stuck with the bill as reported here, here, and in Newsletters #586 and #589 should you fall foul of this conspiracy.

Brother Branham said, "Listen, did you know the Bible predicts that in the last days, that they'll be a germ warfare? That diseases will break out upon the people, and fall on everyone without the baptism of the Holy Spirit? But the Angel who had charge over these plagues was given orders to touch no one on whom the mark was. Why, how much, kind of teachers have we got to be, brethren, to get the church in order to be in that condition? Immune. My arms are sore now, from where the doctors has punched needles to try to inoculate me from yellow fever and so forth. I told them I didn't need it. But they wouldn't listen to me. But I'll tell you what God's going to do. God's got a serum, and it's called the Holy Ghost. And when that serum goes in, it'll inoculate you. Hallelujah, in the last days. . ." (William Branham, God's Provided Way of Healing, #56-0719A; Revelation 6:8; 14:9).

"How we thank Thee, that in this great hour, that when all hopes of mortal life has finished. . . Atomic bombs are laying in hangers, hydrogen bombs, sickness and diseases, germ warfare. . . O God, and everything the way it is, knowing that the Bible said that man would actually rot in their flesh. . . But that Angel was given commission, "Don't you touch any of those! Don't you come near those who has the wine and the oil. Don't touch those who has the Seal of God upon their forehead" (God's Provided Way of Fellowship, #60-0709; Zechariah 14:12; Revelation 14:9).

The world Superpower is administered by liars and international criminals of "the City of London." The Democratic Party has spent over US$1million in court costs, and Obama's Presidential campaign spent over US$800,000 during the Presidential campaign to fight the lawsuit of former Pennsylvania Assistant Attorney General Philip Berg that Obama be required to produce his birth certificate proving he is a natural-born US citizen. Satan is the god of this evil age (Matthew 4:8-9).

This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.

Who will investigate the UN-Vatican Connection?
July 14, 2009 – The UN has been rocked by scandals involving UN "peacekeepers" who sexually abuse women and children, the failure to protect populations in danger of genocide, and financial corruption. It is an anti-American institution founded by a Soviet spy that is currently headed by a Communist Catholic Priest, UN General Assembly President Miguel D'Escoto, who recently gave a speech at a UN financial conference on the need to protect "Mother Earth."

So when the leader of 1.2 billion Catholics, Pope Benedict XVI, endorsed a "World Political Authority" in his encyclical Caritas in Veritate, it was big news that could only be understood in the context of the growing power and influence of the UN . . . the Pope stated that the goals of this World Political Authority should be "To manage the global economy; to revive economies hit by the crisis; to avoid any deterioration of the present crisis and the greater imbalances that would result; to bring about integral and timely disarmament, food security and peace; to guarantee the protection of the environment and to regulate migration."

Pope Benedict even associated Jesus Christ with the work of the UN, saying that the "search for the right way to order human affairs" is "motivated by the hope drawn from the saving work of Jesus Christ" and "that is why the Church is happy to be associated with the activity of this distinguished organization, charged with the responsibility of promoting peace and good will throughout the earth". . .

Yad Vashem Honor sought for Pius XII
July 2, 2009 – A foundation announced plans to nominate Pope Pius XII for the "Righteous Among the Nations" (Goyim or "human cattle") honor traditionally given to non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust. Gary Krupp, Jewish Papal Knight and president of the New York-based Pave the Way Foundation, that promotes interreligious dialogue, affirmed this Wednesday in a statement to ZENIT. He reported that the foundation has the nomination guidelines from the Righteous Among the Nations Department of the Holocaust Museum Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, and will open the case soon. Krupp stated that the foundation has "devoted years to gathering original documentation and video testimony on this controversial papacy and we believe we have uncovered enough pertinent material to now begin to seek the notarized written testimonies to officially begin this judicial procedure [with] Yad Vashem."

The president, himself a Jew, explained, "In most cases of those who have been honored as Righteous Among the Nations, the honoree has directly acted to save individual lives all the while risking his or her own life to do so." He continued: "The actions of Eugenio Pacelli [Pope Pius XII] do not fit this general description. However, we can establish the direct intercession of the Pope to act resulting in saving hundreds of thousands of Jewish lives. "But obviously because of the nature of the high office he held, Pacelli would almost never have been in direct contact with those he saved. . . We can also establish that the life-saving actions of Pacelli were carried out under the threat of death". . . Full story: zenit.org

Comment: Do you see how close we are to the manifestation of Satan incarnate in the eighth beast of Revelation 17:11-18 who will confirm a covenant with the Black Nobility, the so-called Jews and their international banksters (Daniel 9:27)? The Jews and their Judaeo-Roman false church are co- operating to elevate the late (Jewish) Pope Pius XII to sainthood as a "righteous Gentile" according to the fraudulent Noahide laws. This Jewish beatification ensurees the Vatican processes a secondary beatification and compensates Rome for making belief in the so-called holocaust/s an element of Dogma.

Liberation through Information!
July 5, 2009 – The dissident Germar Rudolf from JVA Mannheim prison has been released. On October 19, 2005, Rudolf was arrested in the United States and deported to Germany. . . In March 2007, the Mannheim District Court sentenced Rudolf to two years and six months in prison for inciting hatred, disparaging the dead and libel.

In the early '90s Rudolf was doing scientific research and appraisal on the Auschwitz gas chamber complex. Since his research results stood in diametric contrast to the commercial and state-ordered doctrine this led naturally to collisions with the government authority. Thus in May 1995 because of his appraisal of the gas chambers in Auschwitz, the regional court condemned Germar Rudolf to 14 months prison. . . Full story: de.altermedia.info



Comment: Israeli soldiers testify about Gaza genocide: cowardly use of human shields and white phosphorus on civilians. Meanwhile, British schools prepare for intensified Holocaust® indoctrination. 300 schools are to become Holocaust® specialists as the City of London continues to hide atrocities of Allied pawns fronting for her pursuit of Lucifer's totalitarian world government with its capital in Jerusalem. Does the curriculum cover all three (3) alleged holocausts, each of six (6) million so-called Jews in just the twentieth century, nine to fifteen million Germans murdered after World War II, and will it continue to ignore the City's holocausts of hundreds of millions of Goyim ("human cattle") in the same period continuing now in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, and soon for Iran at US taxpayer expense?

Superannuation lost to Gore's Hot Air
July 11, 2009 – Retirement money that Australian workers are required by law to hand over to the $6 billion VicSuper superannuation fund is being sucked into the Goldman Sachs carbon bubble machine, and Al Gore is coming to town this week to make sure it keeps coming.

VicSuper is a major investor in Gore's Generation Investment Management hedge fund, which is managed by former Goldman Sachs executive David Blood, just one of an array of current and former Goldman Suckers who are orchestrating a bigger financial scam than the Dutch Tulip Bubble of 1637, premised on conning people into believing they can change the weather. . .

Goldman specialises in peddling influence, by making their executives fabulously wealthy, and then deploying them to key positions in government and public service. Well known Goldman Suckers include: former US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, George W. Bush's chief of staff Joshua Bolten, AIG white knight Ed Liddy (who funneled $13 billion of AIG's bail-out money to Goldman), the heads of the Canadian and Italian central banks, the head of the World Bank, the head of the New York Stock Exchange, the last two heads of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Al Gore's partner David Blood, and former Australian Environment Minister and current Opposition leader Malcolm Turnbull. (Is Turnbull's Goldman Sachs connection the reason he is forcing a deal on Rudd's ignorantly-named Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS), onto his very reluctant party room?). . .

Two Questions
QUESTION: I understand that the Book in Revelation 5:1 is the Title Deed and contains the names of the redeemed as well as specifying the steps by which Christ shall recover the inheritance from the Usurper and take actual possession of what He has already purchased in the Kingdom, which is the Millennium. I know that the Seals have been revealed thereby giving access so that the Scroll which they guarded can be completely read by Christ to the Bride only when the events it symbolizes have played out. How come John is already eating the Scroll in Revelation 10? I thought it was just the mystery or Seals that have been revealed.

ANSWER: Throughout the Book of Revelation, the prophet John represents Christ's end-time Bride who will be changed in the atoms and translated without death. The scene is set after Christ's mediation for PART-Word is fulfilled, redemption is over, and the Lord is gathering His elect out from Rome and her (once) Protestant daughters into the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation (Matthew 25:6; Ephesians 1:-23; 4:13; I Thessalonians 4:14-16; Romans 8:19; I Corinthians 15:46-57). By eating the open Scroll John is symbolically becoming one with the revelation of the mysteries of the Seven Thunders of Revelation 10:1-4 as Ezekiel (2 – 3) was commanded to eat the scroll and become one with his prophecy, as Israel became one with her Pascal Lamb, as the suspect wife (and nominal Christian) becomes one with the blessing or curse in the trial of jealousy (Numbers 5; Revelation 16), and as we signify the fulfillment of John 17:21-26 in us when we observe the Lord's Supper.

A more fulsome response is included with the answer to the next question.

QUESTION: Why did there have to be good people go to hell? They couldn't help who they are, or they would have power to change their hair black from to white. They are not the Potter.

ANSWER: As long as Adam was in fellowship with the visible Tree of Life he had immortality and would have matured into eternal Life had he not broken fellowship by redeeming sinful Eve to himself. As the Son of God Adam bore the attributes of God. Adam was god of this earth with dominion and authority of the spoken Word as Jehovah is God of the universe which He created by the spoken Word. However, when Adam abrogated fellowship for the love of a woman, his sinful wife Eve, he forfeited dominion over his inheritance to Satan. He was still a Son of God, but now he was a fallen Son of God; death held a lien over his physical being and he was cast from Eden's paradise. Sin had severed his physical contact with the Tree of Life, who is Christ, with whom he would no more walk and commune in the cool of the evening, hear his sweet voice, or even see "His back parts" as did Moses.

From now on, except for those rare occasions in which God manifest Himself in the created flesh of Melchisedec; the Man who wrestled with Jacob; He who received Gideon's sacrifice; the One who met Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the fiery furnace, or our virgin-born Kinsman Redeemer, man's fellowship would be by faith and not by sight.

Brother Branham explained, "The Word most definitely sets forth that from BEFORE the foundation of the earth the purpose of God was to share His Eternal Life with man:

Ephesians 1:4-11, "According as He has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love: having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the beloved. In Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace; wherein He has abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He has purposed in Himself: that in the dispensation of the fullness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him: in Whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him Who works all things after the counsel of His own will."

Revelation 13:8, "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him [Satan] whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."

But that Life could not, and would not, be shared in any other way than through "God manifest in the flesh." This was a part of His eternal and predestinated purpose. This plan was to be to the praise of the glory of His grace. It was the plan of Redemption. It was the plan of Salvation. Now listen closely. "God being a Saviour, it was necessary that He predestinate a man who would require salvation in order to give Himself reason and purpose of being." That is one hundred percent correct and multitudes of Scripture bear it out as does the very pointed verse of Romans 11:36, "For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are ALL THINGS: to Whom be GLORY for ever. Amen."

Man could not directly come and partake of that Tree of Life in the midst of the garden. That Eternal Life of the Tree had to become flesh first. But before God could raise and save a sinner, He had to have a sinner to raise and save. Man had to fall. The fall which would be caused by Satan, had to have flesh to make fall. Satan had to come through flesh also. But Satan could not come through human flesh to make the fall as would Christ come in human flesh to restore the fallen.

But there was an animal, the serpent, so close to man that Satan could get to that beast and through that beast he could get to human flesh and cause the fall, and inject himself thereby into the human race, even as Jesus would one day come and inject Himself into the human race, into human bodies, even to the extent of a resurrection wherein we would have bodies like unto His glorified one. Thus what God worked out here in the garden was His predestinated plan. And when Satan had brought about that which was necessary to the purpose of God, then man could not get to the Tree Of Life in the garden. Certainly not. It wasn't time. But an animal (animal had caused the fall had it not? let animal life be shed) was taken and his blood shed and then God had communion with man again.

Then there was to come a day when God would appear in flesh, and by means of His humiliation He would restore fallen man and make him a partaker of that Life Eternal. Once you see this, you can understand the serpent seed and know that it was no apple Eve ate. No, it was the degradation of humanity by intermingling the seed" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 102:2).

"In the original physical creation as we know it today, God made everything in pairs, male and female. There were two chickens—rooster and hen. There were two cattle, the cow and the bull. And right down the line. But when it came to man, there was only one. They were not a pair. Adam had been made in the image of God. He was a son of God. As a son of God he could not be tempted and fall. That would be impossible. So God took a byproduct of man to cause the fall. Woman never stepped fresh from the hand of God as a true product of God. She was produced from man. And when God caused her to be brought forth from man she was vastly different from the other females He had created. She was able to be seduced. No other female in creation can be immoral; but the human female may be touched at almost any time. And that weakness in her allowed Satan to seduce her by way of the serpent, and has brought the woman to a very peculiar position before God and His Word. She is the type of all things vulgar, foul and loathsome on the one hand, and on the other hand she is the type of all things clean and beautiful, and holy as the receptacle of the Spirit and blessings of God. On the one hand she is called the whore who is drunk with the wine of her fornications. On the other she is called the Bride of Christ. On one hand she is called Mystery Babylon, the abomination before God; and on the other hand she is called New Jerusalem, our mother. On the one hand she is so foul and wicked and lewd that she is summarily cast into the lake of Fire as the only fit place for her; and on the other hand she is exalted to heaven, sharing the very throne of God as the only place befitting such a queen" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 215:2).

Being righteous and just, God could not arbitrarily make man fall so he placed him on free moral agency with the certainty of reward or punishment (Genesis 2:17) dependant upon his personal decisions whereby he would determine his eternal destiny. As Adam was a spoken Word of God he could not be deceived on the revealed Word of God and disbelieve, but Eve, being a byproduct of Adam and not the Word was made so that she could be deceived and fall.

Once God had a dying people crying for redemption He could manifest Himself as Kinsman Redeemer, but not immediately (Leviticus 25; Ruth). Since man's expulsion from God's Presence in the garden of Eden their communication was to be by grace through faith rather than sight, however when the old world was overcome by sin God destroyed it by the Great Flood, renewed the Adamic covenant with Noah and his family, and began once anew. Unfortunately sin was carried over the waters in the persons of Noah's wife, Ham and his wife. Ham and his son Cush revived pagan trinitarianism and God separated Abram from the whole of humanity, one man in whom he found faith, through whose lineage He would raise a holy nation from among whom would come the virgin-born promised Seed and Redeemer of believers in Adam's race. But the third and fourth generation of Abraham's natural seed either had no respect for the birthright and intermarried with Cain's race, or fell in unbelief, culminating in the days of Moses when the Israelites rejected the Holy Spirit and Abraham's grace Covenant, causing God to blot the names of the adults from the Book of Life and place the nation under judgment by the Law of sin and death.

Now the Law was a schoolmaster to teach Israel to distinguish between clean and unclean, holy and unholy, the reward for obedience and penalty of sin (Galatians 3:25); its ordinances and festivals established shadows of types of good things prophesied to come, and the Tabernacle and its furniture set natural patterns and symbols as examples of future Spiritual outcomes. Sadly the chosen nation became profane in its life and worship, committing physical genocide by miscegenation with the seed of the Serpent, for "God set enmity between the offspring of such misalliances and Adam's race" then as He did in the days of Cain and Noah, and in this day (Genesis 3:15; Matthew 24:37), because Cain and his race are irredeemable, not being in the Book of Life. The children of Israel committed spiritual genocide by idolatry which caused individual names to be removed from the Book of Life. Thus when the year of Jubilee arrived (Isaiah 61:2a; Luke 4:14-21), the Israelites had so corrupted themselves they murdered their Redeemer, and the Lord God turned to "whoever in Adam's race will receive Him" (Acts 15:14; Isaiah 11:10; 56:6-8; Malachi 1:11). Now having redeemed His Gentile Bride, and the apostate churches having rejected Him (Revelation 3:17-20), Jesus Messiah will shortly return and reveal Himself to Israel before He smites the earth with a curse and burns up the works of man with fervent heat.

Following the Fall there was a people sick and afflicted calling for healing, and God was able to manifest His attributes as Healer. Because of the ingress of sin, people were hungry, homeless, poor, endangered and in need of divine intervention, which allowed God to gather glory by manifesting Himself as their Provider, the God of justice and of mercy.

Man's dominion over earth was given in trust. When He broke God's trust he forfeited his dominion to Satan but the Title Deed was held by God until the time of redemption. Satan could not possess man's inheritance forever because God's Law provides a year of jubilee in which all debts must be discharged and forgiven, and all property restored to its original owner. Until the Redeemer had paid the purchase price of redemption and claimed his possession, God retained the Original Title Deed to the inheritance of Adam and his elect children.

Brother Branham described this Title Deed in the hands of God as an abstract (or summary) searched back to the Creator naming the born-again inheritors of everything Adam and Eve lost (Revelation 5:5-7; The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 86:5-6). This Title Deed is the Book of Life containing the Lamb's Book of Life written by God's foreknowledge before the foundation of the earth. It contains the names of Adam's natural descendants who will be granted into salvation at the White Throne Judgment. Multitudes whose names were once in this Book, such as the adult Israelites who set off on the exodus (Exodus 32:33; Psalm 95:10-11) and the Israelites who rejected the Lord Jesus and put Him to death (Psalm 69:18-28) have been blotted out. And billions will be removed between now and the consummation, because "all who dwell upon the earth will worship Satan, whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world" (Revelation 13:8). The Lamb's Book of Life is small section within the Book that records the elect of Adam's race—the Old Testament saints, Christ's Bride, and the 144,000 elect Israelites. Those names can never be removed from the Book as they are God's people redeemed by the last Adam. The names of all the members of Christ's Bride were put in the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world, but it was sealed as you said, "until the events it symbolizes have played out." Now the revelation of the Seals has revealed whose names were in there, and how they were redeemed in their day. When you catch the revelation of the Seals you have heard your name called from the Lamb's Book of Life.

Revelation 5:1, "And I saw in the right hand of Him that sat on the throne a Book written within and on the backside, sealed with Seven Seals".

Only names are written in the Scroll which was also written on the backside sealed with Seven Seals which contained the mysteries of the Seven Thunders of Revelation 10.

Revelation 5:13, "And I (John, who represents Christ's end-time Bride throughout the Book of Revelation) heard every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, and all that are in them, saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, to Him who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb for ever and ever".

When you hear your name called from the Lamb's Book of Life, or begin to receive the revelation of the hour, your heart is being restored to the faith of our Apostolic fathers and the Voice of the Archangel will bring you to maturity in the unity of the faith for the manifestation of the Sons of God and the translation. Its a revelation, and you share that revelation:

Revelation 10:8-11, "The voice which I [. . . . . . . insert your name] heard from heaven spoke to me again, and said, Go and take the little Book which is open in the hand of [Christ] the Angel who stands upon the sea and upon the earth. And I [. . . . . . . insert your name] went to the Angel, and said, Give me the little book. And He said to me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make your belly bitter, but it shall be sweet as honey in your mouth. And I took the little book out of the Angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. And He said to me, You must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings".

Comment: "Satan had to come through flesh." He has come through flesh, and his vicarious children are with us today as they were in the days of Messiah?

New Ocean forming in Ethiopia
October 1, 2008 – The African continent is literally unstitching itself apart just like the sleeve of an old shirt, along the area known as the East African Rift, which traverses it beginning with the southern end of the Red Sea, going through Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique. The molten lava beneath the Earth's surface makes it thin by constantly pushing against it, and eventually breaks it and tears it apart. As the forces that drive the lava from the sinews of the crust don't encounter much resistance anymore, they keep applying unbelievable pressures, widening the gaps. This will all end about ten million years from today, when the Red Sea's water, that will soon flood the rift, will have completely submerged the region. . . Full story: softpedia.com

Predestinated unto the Adoption of Sons by Jesus Christ to Himself – Part VII



Observing communion was the difference between life or death to Israelites about to embark on the exodus from servitude in Egypt to liberty in the Promised Land. Only those under the Token of the shed blood of an innocent lamb were permitted to partake the Passover meal. That blood painted on the lintel or overhang and on the two sideposts of the opening to the tents or doorway to the houses of the Israelites with a hyssop, a common weed, was the evidence of a life surrendered in their stead.

Hyssop represents faith which is as common as weeds if you will only hold to it. By faith you flick on a switch in confident anticipation of light or power. By faith you apply pen to paper absolutely certain it will record the words you write. By faith you reach out to the Lord for healing, for provision of necessities and answers to prayer. God hides in humility and reveals Himself in simplicity, which is why He chose neither signs nor wisdom, but "the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe" (I Corinthians 1:17-31). "Faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes by preaching the Gospel of Christ" (Romans 10:17).

Prince or pauper, bond or free, learned or unlearned, Israelite or Gentile, so long as you are in Adam's race you need only apply the hyssop of hearing to receive faith and eternal Life. God hides in humility and reveals Himself in simplicity.

These examples from the Old Testament are shadows and types reflected by the substance of good things to come. Since Revelation 4, 5 and 10:1-7 have been fulfilled there is no blood on the Mercy Seat in the heavenly temple and Christ is no longer interceding for the ignorance of PART-Word. Since we now have the fullness of the Word the Blood is no longer an evidence and we must be under such preeminence that we display the Token of the very Life of Christ, remembering it was NOT the blood that Jehovah required (for this was poured out at the base of the altar, or sprinkled) it was the life given in atonement, and His Life must be displayed in us. Communion means "mutual dialog, or fellowship," and in order to share communion with Christ and fellow Christians of this day we must be baptized into the same division of the Body by the present Truth. In I Corinthians 12 Paul explains that although all born-again Christians are baptized into one Body, we are individuals each with our particular calling; more than this, we are baptized into different divisions of the Body by different measures of Word and Spirit as God has built its members—feet, legs, torso, chest, lips, eyes and mind through successive dispensations beginning at the day of Pentecost. Consequently, those who were baptized into the Laodicean Age of the twentieth century Pentecostal revival will have a different measure of revelation of God's unchanging Word to we who have been baptized into the Capstone of this present holy convocation. And as the feet perform a different function to a nose, we have seen a greater Light than the Laodiceans were predestinated to see, but we are both equal members and partakers of the Life of the Body.

I John 1:5-7, "God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with Him, when we are not walking in the Light of the present Truth, we lie, and do not live according to the Word of the hour: but if we walk in the Light, as He Himself is in the Light, then we have fellowship with those who are saints, and the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son [which is now the Life of the Word] cleanses us from all sin".

Unless we recognize our day and its Message and become written epistles of that part of the Word we will never be born-again, and as we are now at the very end of the dispensation, will find ourselves impersonating the Word for the Sardis, Philadelphian, Laodicean or some other dispensation that is already fulfilled and whose saints are asleep pending the first resurrection.

As on that first Passover night it was death for any firstborn who was not under the blood of the lamb, during the Church Ages it has been death for those who were not under the Blood, and today it is death for all who are not under the Token. Those outside the Body of Christ are out of communion and fellowship with Christ and disqualified from partaking the Lord's Supper. Jesus' prayer in John 17:21 is that we may be at one or in agreement with Him, for Amos 3:3 asks, "How can two walk together unless they are agreed [on the Word]"?

As it was in Egypt, it is now death not to partake the Lord's Supper, and death to approach the Lord's table unworthily. I Corinthians 11:27-30, "Whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the Body and Blood of the Lord. (That is, the unpardonable sin, "Crucifying to themselves the Son of God afresh, and putting Him to an open shame" – Hebrews 6:6). But let a man examine himself carefully before eating the bread and drinking from the cup. For he who eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks to his own condemnation, not discerning the Lord's Body (which is His Bride). For this reason many of you are [spiritually] weak and sickly, and some have died".

Those who, like the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church take the bread without the wine, or the wine without the bread, communicate "unworthily" and are "guilty of Christ's body and blood" for they disobey His express command to partake of both. If we do not partake of the sacramental symbol of the Lord's death worthily, we share in the guilt of His death. Very soon there will be two classes of people: those who have the Seal of God, and those with the mark of the beast. Jesus said the two spirits will be so alike, only the elect will not be deceived, "and all the non-elect upon earth will worship the beast" (Matthew 24:24; Revelation 13:8).

The Israelites were secure under the blood and the Lord spared their firstborn with the birthright, a type of election, but the firstborn of the Egyptians and unbelieving Israelites out from under the blood were struck dead, as were the firstborn of their animals. And the election is off for all outside the Body of Christ in this day. The Death Angel flying over the land will soon cast those uncircumcised in heart and ears, that is, not born-again and sealed into Christ, into the tribulation where they will die as martyrs and thus maintain their names on the Book of Life and their salvation, or perish.

Exodus 12:43-49 informs us no physical Serpent seed (Heb. 'Zuwr'), no mamser or anyone alien in every respect (Heb. 'Nokriy'), outsider or itinerant day labourer may partake of the Passover; but purchased slaves who have been circumcised and racially identical strangers (Heb. 'ger') who are circumcised may participate. This confirms that only those who are baptized into the Body, clad in the whole armour of God, shod with the Gospel and separated from the world are immune from the Death Angel (John 3:18; Revelation 13:8). The Israelites likewise were to eat their Passover lamb in readiness for flight to their Promised Land, having their robes girt up, their shoes (which are not worn indoors in the East) on their feet, and their walking stick in their hand. We too must be in desperation to make our election and calling sure for the end-time began in 1963 with the revelation of the Seals, reservations are restricted and our flight will not be delayed.

After Israel's deliverance from Egypt, her people were to be tested by God to prove who truly possessed faith in His Word of promise that He would take them to Canaan land, that He would deliver them from the Serpent's seed, and who, relying upon their own abilities and resources would disbelieve, murmur against God, lose heart and retreat when confronted with obstacles. At once Israel was pursued by the Egyptian Superpower and trapped on Nuweiba beach–the Red Sea before them and barren hills behind them. At Marah the water was bitter: in the Wilderness of Sin they murmured against the Lord so He sent them manna and quail. At Rephidim they complained that God had led them and their cattle into the desert to die of thirst so He brought water from the Rock in Horeb; then the Amalekites attacked them.

God wanted Israel to be His own personal possession above all other nations, but He was looking for an obedient people who would come under preeminence. He was looking for character, which is formed through trials and suffering. Character is a VICTORY, not a gift. "And all who desire to live a godly life in Christ shall suffer persecution" (II Timothy 3:12).

After their victory over the Amalekites, Moses led Israel to Mount Sinai where he had received his commission, for God had promised: "When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will serve Me on this Mountain" (Exodus 3:11-12). Moses had preached and called Israel out of Egypt, and God had appeared to the people in the Pillar of Fire and Cloud before the true Message of the Commandments were revealed to vindicate his Commission and the calling he said he received when the Shekinah spoke from a burning bush. That same Pillar of Fire appeared at Brother Branham's birth; it manifest above him as a Star seen by thousands at the Ohio River and said, "As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming of Christ, your Message will forerun the second coming of Christ." In his childhood God called from a whirlwind saying, "Don't you never smoke or drink or defile your body in any way. There'll be a work for you to do when you get older." Then it appeared over Sunset Mountain and said, "Go back to your home to the East, right away, and bring those Seven Seals where there's seven mysteries, for the complete Word is revealed now in these seven mysteries." But before the revelation of his true Message of the Seven Seals he had preached, calling God's people out from denominationalism.

Do you see the parallel? The same Pillar of Fire that spoke with Moses and Paul who wrote the Bible has been sent to Brother Branham to reveal It. The grace of God, the unchanging God, fulfilling the promises of Matthew 28:20, "Lo, I am with you always"; fulfilling John 14:12, "The works that I do, shall you do also"; fulfilling Luke 17:28-30, "In the last days the Son of man will be revealed"; and Malachi 4:5-6, "Behold, I send you Elijah the prophet, and he will restore the heart of God's children back to the faith once delivered to their apostolic fathers."

When God announced His conditional Covenant with Israel, Moses brought the people "out of the camp to meet God. . . and when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place." The Lord descended in Fire and called Moses to the top of the mount where He declared the Ten Commandments, directions concerning the Altar, various laws and ordinances, the three annual compulsory feasts, and the promise of the Covenant Angel, Christ, with blessing if they obey Him. And the people said, "We will do all the Words which the Lord has said," so Moses wrote out the Words, sprinkling the people and the Covenant with the blood of a burnt offering (Exodus 19:1 – 23:8).

Moses returned to the mountaintop where God gave him instructions for the tabernacle and its furniture, the separation of priests, and after forty-days, stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments written with the finger of God. But when he descended, Moses discovered Israel had broken their Covenant and turned to idolatry and fornication. This is the condition in which God found the church when Brother Branham descended Sunset mountain to restore God's unconditional Covenant which had been denominated through the Ages, restricting God to human reasoning and man's limited understanding of the PART-Word for a day gone by. Jesus mused, "When the Son of man comes, will He find faith on the earth"? The revelation of the Seven Seals brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form, but carnal reasoning had become idolatry and Laodicea put Christ out of the churches that bear His Name (Revelation 3:17-20).

Israel was condemned, and God would have blotted the nation from the Book of Life had Moses not stood in the breach so an election from the next generation might live to enter the Promised Land (Exodus 32:30-35). When her denominations rejected Christ's first Coming, God turned from the nation but Christ stood in the breach and interceded so that the Gospel might call an election out from all of Adam's race. At the close of Laodicea Brother Branham stood in the breach between the end of the Church Ages and the rejected Seals to indict the world church system and call an election out from Rome and her apostate (once) Protestant daughter churches into the Capstone. And when grace ends two Hebrew prophets will stand in the breach for three and a half years to introduce the Son of man to 144,000 elect Israelites as their King with His Queen, fulfilling Daniel's Seventieth Week and ushering in the Millennium.

Notice that as "the two tables of the Testimony were written on both their sides" the Scroll of Redemption was "written within and on the backside, and sealed with Seven Seals" (Exodus 32:16; Revelation 5:1). And as Christ was palpable to Adam's five senses in the garden of Eden, God's Word on tables of stone was visible and its import explicit, so for any Levite able to read there was no mystery to be understood, whereas our Message is not of works but faith, and "no man either in heaven or on earth or under the earth, was worthy to open the Scroll of Redemption or look into it." The writing within the Scroll records the names of God's redeemed, however it could not be read because the Scroll was sealed with Seven Seals, which are the mysteries of the Seven Thunders explaining how the saints were redeemed by their faith in the Message of the "angel" to their Age, and who they are.

When Moses saw the naked Israelites worshipping the golden calf, he cast the Tablets of the Law to the ground and broke them physically as Israel had broken them spiritually. God made Moses restore the written Word (Exodus 34:27-28). When God saw the Gentile church materially rich and in need of nothing, He said, "You are spiritually wretched and miserable, bankrupt of faith, blind to the Gospel, and naked of the Blood," and He made Brother Branham restore the apostolic faith through the Spoken Word of the Voices of the Seven Thunders that Daniel and John had been forbidden to write but told to seal until the time of intercession for the PART-Word saints was "no longer. But in the days of the Voice of the seventh angel, William Branham, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to his servants the prophets" (Revelation 10:5-7).

With the traitor at the table, and death present before His eyes, Jesus and His disciples shared their last meal before He was offered, then He instituted the Communion, to commemorate His upcoming death. After they had sung a hymn Jesus communed with His disciples as they walked to the mount of Olives, foretelling certain events that would take place that night. Having overcome the world by bring His mortal senses under pre-eminence to the will of God he was confronted by Judas who arrived leading a band of thugs from the chief priests, Scribes and Sanhedrin, and betrayed Jesus with a kiss. The other eleven forsook the Lord who was to be tested by God before the Sanhedrin and Roman Superpower of that day. We too will be tested now in this life and by the Judaeo-Roman Superpower in the manifestation of the Sons of God.

Testing starts when you become a Christian and your friends denominational disagree with and forsake you. Hebrews 12:8, "If God does not punish you with a view to correction when you need it, as other fathers punish their sons, then you are bastards and not God's Sons." And because we are Sons, we will be despised and rejected by the world after the earthquake sinks Los Angeles and we warn loved ones against the evil world church system, telling them not receive her doctrine or do her service, for although this will mean martyrdom it will preserve their salvation.

God did not spare Jesus Messiah, and He will not spare you from testing and chastisement. It was after He had overcome in Gethsemane on the mount of Olives, sweating great drops of blood to the ground as He wrestled against conscience, reasoning, imagination, memory and affection until He resolved, "Not My will, but Thine be done," that He became Lord. He overcame and paid sin's price for us. We overcome by getting into the Overcomer by grace through faith.

We observe the Lord's Supper having salvation and eternal Life in remembrance of our Lord Jesus Christ, present in Spirit, with thanksgiving for that finished work whereby we were crucified in Him and can never come into condemnation but have passed from death into Life and are sealed to the day of our "full adoption".

There was no salvation or adoption in the life of bulls and goats or Israel's Pascal lamb, because animals are not kin to man and therefore only pointed to a coming Kinsman who was able, worthy and willing to pay our debt of sin. Being a man, Jesus had a soul that could return upon and identify with the faith of penitents who believed in and identify with His Life such that He makes it their own. An animal is simply flesh and mortal spirit, so when it dies its spirit goes to ground like your mortal spirit, and its body returns to dust like your body. Not having a soul, that is the end of him, which is why we may kill and eat animals. God made provision to manifest Himself in mortal flesh to pay redemption's price. He was worthy being virgin born without human male instrumentality he had no association with the original sin, whereas every other being since Adam is born in sin, conceived in iniquity, and comes into the world speaking lies (Romans 3:9-18).

Man tends to be independent of God and self-sufficient with a "can do" attitude. Only as a last resort does he go to God in prayer for His needs, possibly having little faith to which God can respond. But if he prays ahead of time he doubts God will answer. After Adam crossed from immortality into time our father hid from God, but God called Adam and in grace He calls to all of Adam's children. Our nature before regeneration is that of a sinner we were not seeking God. He found you, and He found me. The choice is ours to respond or ignore His Voice.

The last sermon Christ preached before His death was Communion, and Brother Branham's last sermon was Communion. As He taught in the Synagogue, Jesus stated fearlessly, "He who believes on me has eternal Life. I am the Bread of Life. Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness and every one of them is blotted from the Book of Life and LOST. . . The Judeans argued, "How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?" Jesus said, "In all earnest ness I assure you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink His blood, you have no eternal Life in you. . ." (John 6:47-59).

Before we observe the Lord's Supper we must be born-again and in a hundred percent agreement with the Word, which is why we "tarry for one another" to give Brethren opportunity to first confess and ask forgiveness of one another or of the Church should they feel they have brought a reproach, lest they fail to discern the Body of the Lord and bring themselves under judgment. When we partake the elements of unleavened bread made by holy hands and wine crushed by holy hands or feet, we signify that we are at one with the Word and Spirit of God, and hence at one with the Lord's Body (John 17:21-26). The Lord's Supper is taken in the evening after any pot luck communal "love feast," not as a meal, but in remembrance of what Jesus has accomplished for us. This memorial is not for the profane, for unbelievers, unregenerate children, denominational believers or anyone who is not born-again and of a clear conscience concerning the Lord's Body.

Exodus 12:9-10, "Do not eat it raw, or boiled in water, but roasted with fire; its head and legs with its inner parts. Do not eat any of it the next day; whatever remains until the morning you shall burn with fire".

The whole lamb was roasted with Fire (signifying the Holy Ghost). The burnt offering is symbolical of Christ offering Himself, one Man, under pre-eminence in the will of God to glorify Him at all costs to Himself. A portion of Word and Spirit was allotted to each Age so that whatever tradition that remains from the previous Church Age must be burned with fire lest it pollute the new Message and impede the baptism with the Holy Ghost. One had to die to Luther's Sardis Church Age to be born into the Wesley's Philadelphian Church Age, and one had to die to the Philadelphian Age to be born-again in Laodicea. Now one has to die to the Pentecostal Age—burn it with fire so that you do not pollute our new Message with man-made traditions of the past (Romans 7). Since the revelation of the Seven Seals we have the fullness of the Word: no one can be born-again outside this Message because Christ is no longer a Mediator for PART-Word (I Corinthians 13:10).

Brothers sometimes misconstrue God's Word, taking the "letter" without understanding by the "Spirit." I Corinthians 11:26 says, "As often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you show the Lord's death until He comes," yet certain Brethren in the circle of this Message having recognized Christ's 'parousia' Coming in 1963 and His Presence with us today, overlook the fact Paul and Brother Branham command us to observe this memorial until His physical or 'erchomai' Coming, and teach that the Lord's Supper is fulfilled because He has come.

Paul and Brother Branham taught the New Testament by following the types and shadows from the Old. The showbread or "bread of the Presence" was in the Sanctuary, not in the Holy of Holies (Hebrews 9:1-8) and renewed every sabbath on the table before the Lord (Leviticus 24:5-8): consequently, the Lord's death was shown, or announced afresh at the Lord's table in the primitive Church "when the disciples came together to break bread" (Acts 20:7; I Corinthians 16:1-2) on the first day of every week, NOT on the seventh day as falsely taught by certain sects. In the dispensation of Christ's Spiritual Presence, we Christians are "priests unto God" serving under the Token antitypical to the Holy Place or Sanctuary: the perfect and eternal dispensation, which begins with Christ's 'erchomai' Coming, is antitypical to the Holy of Holies, which Jesus Messiah our High Priest alone in the flesh as yet has entered (Hebrews 9:6-7) "and no man can to enter into the Holy of Holies until the vials of the seven plagues of the seven angels are fulfilled" (Revelation 15:8).

Jesus said, "I will not drink this wine again until that day when I drink it anew with you [at the Wedding Supper] in My Father's kingdom" (Matthew 26:29). We do not meet the glorified Jesus in His Kingdom here on earth, which would be the Millennium, but in His Father's Kingdom in the Air. When "He comes" we will no longer observe the Lord's Supper with symbols of His body, for the glorified Body will manifest in all ten thousand times ten thousands of its members, and the Lord's Supper in heaven, the antitype to the Holy of Holies, will be superseded by Christ's own bodily presence; then the wine shall be drunk "anew" in the Father's kingdom, by Christ and His people together, of which heavenly banquet our memorial of the Lord's Supper is a spiritual foretaste.

Jesus Messiah commanded us to observe three ordinances: baptism by immersion for the remission of past sins in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord's Supper, and foot washing. Foot washing is observed after the Lord's Supper as an example of humility and service in cleansing the feet of the saints from their contact with the world in their holy walk in the Spirit. The Brothers and Sisters, separated by a curtain or in different rooms wash one another's feet; the one whose feet are being washed laying hands on the one other in prayer, while the remainder sing softly and reverently.

John 13:4-17, "After supper Jesus removed His robe; and wrapped a towel around his loins [as the lowest of slaves would dress], poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel He had around Him. When He came to Simon Peter, Peter said to Him, Lord, You should not be washing my feet!

Jesus replied, Just now you do not understand now what I am doing, but you will know later on.

Peter protested, You shall never wash my feet.

Jesus replied, If I do not wash you, you have no part in Me.

Simon Peter exclaimed, Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.

Jesus replied, One who has bathed needs only to have his feet washed to be entirely clean: and you are clean, but [He added], not every one of you. (For it would be a night of terrible moral sifting to them all so a solemn warning was needed by all the disciples. Besides, the treachery of one of their own number might have led them to doubt whether Christ had really Divine knowledge. On the other hand, this clear prediction of it would not only confirm their faith in Him, but show that there was some deeper meaning in the presence of a Judas among them. "I know those I chose; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, He who eats My Bread lifts up his heel against Me!" (Psalm 41:9)]. For Jesus knew who should betray Him; therefore he said, Not all of you are clean.

After washing their feet and taking His robe, Jesus sat down and asked, Do you understand what I was doing? You call Me Master and Lord, and you do well to say it, for it is true. And since I, the Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other's feet. For I have given you an example to follow: do as I have done to you. How true it is that a servant is not greater than his master. Nor is the messenger greater than the one who sends him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them".

And God bless you, Brethren, predestinated unto the "full adoption" of Sons by Jesus Christ to God Himself. nl590.htm

Predestinated unto the Adoption of Sons by Jesus Christ to Himself - Part VI

Bible Believers' Newsletter #589
"We focus on the present Truth – what Jesus is doing now. . ."
ISSN 1442-8660

Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for joining in Christian fellowship.

The world banking scam continues to shake national economies and international trade while the bankster, black nobility, world church system and political puppets pawns the levers of authority have legislated draconian emergency police state powers throughout the "free" world and it is suggested Britain and the US may default on their payments this coming fall. The Californian economy is larger than the economy of India or Russia. When it finally sinks (no pun intended) it will take the economy of the United States with it. The same week that Washington told the Governor of California "not one red cent," Obama handed over US$2.775 billion to Israel. There is no money for California, US health care, or millions who have lost their homes and are homeless, because Israel needs it.

Do not rest on this issue of our Church Newsletter, but study previous issues and the wealth of Christian resources on our Church Website.

This Newsletter serves those of like precious faith. Whoever will receive the truth is welcome to feed their soul from the waters of the River of Life. Everything here presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.

Pope proposes New Financial Order guided by Ethics
July 7, 2009 – Pope Benedict XVI called Tuesday for a new world financial order guided by ethics and the search for the common good, denouncing the profit-at-all-cost mentality blamed for bringing about the global financial meltdown. In the third encyclical of his pontificate, Benedict pressed for reform of the United Nations and international economic and financial institutions to give poorer countries more of a say in international policy. "There is urgent need [for] a true world political authority" that can manage the global economy, guarantee the environment is protected, ensure world peace and bring about food security for the poor. . .
Full story: yahoo.com.

Comment: Pope Benedict XVI's Encyclical Caritas In Veritate is an endorsement of Lucifer's coming one world government under Rome. He has become "all things to all men [not that] by all means [he] may save some" but that he might entice universal favour toward Rome as world ruler. Daniel and Jesus prophesied four Gentile world empires from Nebuchadnezzar's dominion over Judah to the consummation of life. Rome is the longest-reigning and final hegemon. As a shrewd politician Benedict has submitted a classic example of Orwell's "doublethink" and "newspeak," in his comprehensive wish list appealing to poor and rich, covering ethics, morals, economic and financial regulation, energy, conservation, technology, literacy, education, and freedom of worship. This youtube cartoon indicates change may come sooner than you think if Joe Brandt's spiritual dreams prove to be prophecy.

The "Return Transfer Agreement"
July 6, 2009 – Isn't this amazing?! Until recently, the Jews in "democratic Germany" were "sitting on packed suitcases" and afraid of neo-Nazis. However now the "Holocaust" story is recognized in the entire Near East as a lie and a swindle. It no longer suffices as a pretext for continuing Israel's crimes against the Palestinians. As one of the most prominent Jews in Germany, Michel Friedman, points out, the Jews in Germany put their suitcases back in the closet several years ago (Frankfurter Rundschau, March 6, 2002). . .

[The Third Reich had no extermination plan for Jews. It had an emigration plan! "The Transfer Agreement" an arrangement negotiated in 1933 between Zionist organizations and the German Reich to transfer the Jews, and millions and millions in cash (in foreign currencies, Dollars and Pounds) to Palestine].

What other nation could match the feat of both leaving and returning to a "Land of Murderers" in order to ensure its survival? We know that we can believe them when they assure us that it is not about large amounts of "shekels" when six million "survivors" come back to the nation that once "murdered" them or had "driven them out." First the "Land of Perpetrators" had to pay hundreds of billions of marks and euros for the construction of Israel as a refuge for its "victims", now it has to pay even more for the deconstruction of Israel and the rehabilitation of another magical "six million". . .

Are the New Flu Shots Toxic Enough?
July 3, 2009 – Just when I was researching a particular new ingredient, called Squalene, in the new swine flu shots, this article from Dr. Sherri Tenpenny was published. The Squalene additive was tested as an experimental vaccine on US soldiers and was found by Tulane University researchers to be a primary cause of Gulf War Syndrome, a spectrum of neurological and immune disorders. . .

The flu shot does not work for babies. In a review of 51 studies involving more than 294,000 children, it was found there was "no evidence that injecting children 6 to 24 months of age with a flu shot was any more effective than a placebo." In children over the age of 2 years, it was effective only 33% of the time in preventing the flu. . . The flu shot does not work in children with asthma. . . Adults are also not protected by flu vaccine. . . in a review of 64 studies in 98 flu seasons, for elderly living in nursing homes, flu shots were non-significant for preventing the flu. For elderly living in the community, vaccines were not significantly effective against influenza, or pneumonia. . . Full story: wholefoodusa.wordpress.com

Ron Paul Strikes Gold
July 2, 2009 – [Paul] has rallied the majority of the House to support his new cause: an audit of the Federal Reserve. Legislators are sick of not knowing what's going on inside Bernanke's fortress, especially as the Fed becomes further enmeshed in the nation's fiscal policy. Paul's little bill has become emblematic of a larger movement, one that could spell trouble for Obama's troubled regulatory plan. Ron Paul—always an enemy of regulation—is now an enemy of Obama. And a mighty powerful one at that.

Paul wants to audit the Fed primarily because he wants to destroy it; the audit bill is just the latest chapter in Paul's lifelong crusade against it. His vendetta is fueled by the belief that the Federal Reserve is unconstitutional, a central bank within a country that doesn't allow central banks. That the Fed can manipulate the currency and "create legal tender out of thin air" is heresy. And so Paul attempts to dismantle it the only way he can: through legislation. . .

Straight Talk: Revealing the Real US-Africa Policy
July 6, 2009 – While Obama administration officials and the U.S. African Command (AFRICOM) representatives insist that U.S. foreign policy towards Africa isn't being militarized, the evidence seems to suggest otherwise. While Africans condemned U.S. military policy in Africa under the Bush administration, the Obama administration has not only mirrored Bush's approach, but has in fact enhanced it. President George W. Bush established Africa as a foreign policy priority in 2003, when he announced that 25% of oil imported to the United States should come from Africa. Like the Cold War, the Global War on Terror establishes a rationale for bolstering U.S. military presence and support in Africa. . . Every country with the exception of Liberia rejected AFRICOM, and African civil society, where allowed to speak, has overwhelmingly characterized AFRICOM as a means to secure oil and nothing more. . .

Eager to tap Iraq's Vast Oil Reserves, Industry Execs suggested Invasion
July 3, 2009 – Two years before the invasion of Iraq, oil executives and foreign policy advisers told the Bush administration that the United States would remain "a prisoner of its energy dilemma" as long as Saddam Hussein was in power.

That April 2001 report, "Strategic Policy Challenges for the 21st Century," was prepared by the James A. Baker Institute for Public Policy and the US Council on Foreign Relations at the request of then-Vice President Dick Cheney. In retrospect, it appears that the report helped focus administration thinking on why it made geopolitical sense to oust Hussein, whose country sat on the world's second largest oil reserves. "Iraq remains a destabilizing influence to the flow of oil to international markets from the Middle East," the report said.

"Saddam Hussein has also demonstrated a willingness to threaten to use the oil weapon and to use his own export program to manipulate oil markets. Therefore the US should conduct an immediate policy review toward Iraq including military, energy, economic and political/diplomatic assessments." The advisory committee that helped prepare the report included Luis Giusti, a Shell Corp. non-executive director; John Manzoni, regional president of British Petroleum; and David O'Reilly, chief executive of Chevron/Texaco.

James Baker, the namesake for the public policy institute, was a prominent oil industry lawyer who also served as secretary of state under President George H.W. Bush, and was counsel to the Bush/Cheney campaign during the Florida recount in 2000. . . an invasion of Iraq was on the agenda at the first National Security Council. There was even a map for a post-war occupation, marking out how Iraq's oil fields would be carved up. Even at that early date, the message from Bush was "find a way to do this". . .

Comment: We have passed the June 30 deadline that, according to a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) signed between US Ambassador Ryan Crocker and Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari on November 17, 2008, was the date all US forces were to have been withdrawn from all of Iraq's cities. Today, however, there are at least 134,000 US soldiers in Iraq - a number barely lower than the number that were there in 2003. In addition, US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates testified on June 9 that the United States would maintain an average of at least 100,000 troops in Iraq through fiscal year 2010.

The SOFA is a sieve, and the number of US military personnel in Iraq is remaining largely intact for now. Add to the 134,000 US soldiers almost the exact number of military contractors (132,610 and increasing), 36,061 of which, according to a recent Department of Defense report, are US citizens.

While the military and most corporate media would like you to believe that from now on no US soldiers will step foot in Iraqi cities, US military patrols in them are ongoing and will continue. . . Full story: truthout.org

Mars Melt hints at Solar, not Human Cause for Warming
February 28, 2007 – Simultaneous warming on Earth and Mars suggests that our planet's recent climate changes have a natural—and not a human-induced—cause, according to one scientist's controversial theory. . . In 2005 data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions revealed that the carbon dioxide "ice caps" near Mars's south pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row.

Habibullo Abdussamatov, head of space research at St. Petersburg's Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory in Russia, says the Mars data is evidence that the current global warming on Earth is being caused by changes in the sun.

"The long-term increase in solar irradiance is heating both Earth and Mars," he said. Full story: nationalgeographic.com Mars, Saturn warming Jupiter, Neptune. Pluto.

Predestinated unto the Adoption of Sons by Jesus Christ to Himself – Part VI


Hebrews 12:1-2. "Since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every weight, and the sin that wraps itself so tightly around our feet and trips us up, and let us run with steadfast endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith . . ."

The revelation of the Seven Seals brought us "that which is perfect," Jesus Christ, the fullness of the Word. His Presence here on earth in the Office of Son of man and Judge (John 5:27; Revelation 1:13; 10:1-4) means His mediation in the Office of Son of God for PART-Word and ignorance of the fullness is done away forever (I Corinthians 13:10) so that those who do not receive and become written epistles of His end-time Message are candidates to be damned or purged in the soon-coming great tribulation. It is the Presence of the fullness that introduced this holy convocation in the antitype of the fiftieth day of Israel's Pentecostal feast, for without the THUS SAITH THE LORD, perfect interpretation of the Word, we would still be working to understand the Bible. Our holy convocation is the jubilee of the Gentile dispensation for the Homecoming of Christ's Bride of all Ages. In this holy convocation we must to learn to relax and trust in the Lord to do His own good work by manifesting the Word of His promises, "being confident that God who has begun a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Christ" (Philippians 1:6; 2:13). The work God began in you is a continuing work that will be ongoing until your "full adoption" or bodily redemption in the day of the Lord (2:16).

THUS SAITH THE LORD, "You are sealed [by the Holy Spirit] unto the day of your redemption" which is your "full adoption" when God's work in you is complete, your renewed body is born of God free from sin, and your theophany, Word form or celestial body has replaced your mortal spirit so that you are wholly manifested, glorified Word (Ephesians 1:13-14; 4:26; Philippians 3:21).

We are rather inclined to be too self-sufficient, and we should do all, but "having done all" we must rest and place our confidence in God. Paul went on to say, "It is natural [being absent] that I should think of all of you in this way, because I have you in my heart; as all of you are partakers with me in the divine grace I have received, whether it be in my imprisonment or and in the defence and confirmation of the Gospel." We need to discern between confidence in human ability and our trust in the grace of God for we can only finish our course with joy by grace through faith. Bearing in mind that multitudes desire to serve God but chiefly as advisors, grace demands a certain sensitivity to circumstances and the leading of faith in order that He may have the pre-eminence to direct or redirect our understanding to accomplish His purpose for His glory.

We are approaching the end of the Gentile dispensation, which is the end of man's day, the end of grace, and the day of Jesus Christ when Judgment will fall upon all whose names are not in the Lamb's Book of Life—members of Christ's end-time Bride (so long as we remain), and the 144,000 elect Israelites (but even they will be martyred). "Having done all, stand"—let go and let God finish the work or answer your petition so that your confidence in His grace may grow through personal experience in this time of peace, so that when you pray according to His will in time of trouble you ask in expectation of His present help, then rest. Intimate communion with your Spiritual husband should be mutual, commonplace and ongoing.

James 4:2-3, "You have not, because you ask not. You ask and receive not, because you ask for the wrong purpose." We must say the right thing to God. John 15:7-8, "If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, then you may ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. Hereby My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples".

Asking the Lord to display His grace toward you is not remiss but yielding Headship, showing you are under pre-eminence and dependent upon Him as your Husband who bears your responsibilities upon His shoulder (Isaiah 9:6). Asking is not an imposition but an expression of reciprocal right in grace, just as you took the unsealed Book with no "please" or "thank you" for although you are under subjection it was your right (Ephesians 5:24; Revelation 10:9). This natural expectation shows you are His glory giving Him glory by acknowledging His grace is your sufficiency, thus His strength is made perfect in your weakness whereby He may display His Attributes as your provider, healer, saviour, righteousness and Lord, and that you are His precious possession. Concerning marriage, Paul wrote, "This is a great mystery: but I speak of Christ and the Church" (Ephesians 5:32), for as Eve was taken out of the first Adam and reunited in natural marriage so they became one flesh, Christ's Bride was taken out of the last Adam and reunited as one Spirit through the invisible union of revelation, for "God and the soul that is joined together with God is one Spirit" (I Corinthians 6:17). Thus, "Men ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself. For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and carefully protects it, as Christ cares for His Body, the Church, of which we are members" (Ephesians 5:29-30). You have oneness with Christ, so "Cast all your care upon Him; for He cares for you" (I Peter 5:7).

Referring to Israel's high priest, scribes, Sandedrin and Sadducees, Peter quoted David, "Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things" (Acts 4:25)? Paul said much the same of the disorderly Corinthian church in which Brethren were ordaining a five-fold ministry when that right is reserved to God alone, and emulating the gifts of the Spirit to glorify themselves as Moses struck the Rock a second time, yet in not one of them was an evidence of salvation, let alone election and new birth (I Corinthians 12-14).

The disorder of the Corinthian church is replicated among the denominations today, particularly in Pentecostal and Judaeo-Roman Catholic charismatic circles where many are ignorantly impersonating the gifts under a wrong spirit or utilizing the gifts to gather glory to themselves. Consider the many "faith healers" and miracle-workers (so-called) trotting around the world encouraging misguided seekers after unscriptural signs. God certainly honours the faith of those who come believing in the Lord to provide their healing or some other need, but these men, and even women, have usurped the ministry; they are not in the faith of Jesus Christ and the gospel they preach is not the Gospel of Paul and the Word for this hour. Their relationship with Christ is not that of Bride but of an uninvited guest without the wedding garment who has entered by some way other than the Door, and is exercising the gifts of the Spirit with sensation but without the Spirit.

Brother Anthony, how can you say such a thing?

Because they are not in the revelation of the hour but impersonating the Word for a day gone by (II Peter 1:12; I John 1:7)! In I Corinthians Paul said "without the new birth I am nothing," and worshipping in vain. The five fold ministry and the gifts of the Spirit can all be impersonated. Such men (and women) ministering on the international stage have surely heard of Brother Branham and rejected the Messenger and his Message, which is the unforgivable sin. We find a whole nation of them in the Old Testament, who received the grace of God in vain. No sooner had they come out of Egypt than they went from grace to the curse of the Law, and almost as soon as the spies searched out the Promised Land the adults were blotted from the Book of Life because they had rejected the Holy Spirit. Today we find another nation in the same dilemma. The United States, which is a type of Israel, rejected her last opportunity for national repentance in 1956/7 which was the Jubilee of the 1906 Azusa Street, Los Angeles revival that initiated the Laodicean Church Age (1906-1963). Now she is captive by the spirit of Laodicea (which means people's rights, or Communism). Very soon an earthquake will sink Los Angeles beneath the Pacific, marking the end of the Gentile dispensation. The apostate USA is the image unto the beast of Imperial Rome as the apostate (once) Protestant churches are the image to Papal Rome. Whereas an election of Israelites have a further three and a half years in which to receive Christ under the ministry of their two Hebrew prophets, America and indeed the world will be doomed to the tribulation once Los Angeles sinks.

I Corinthians 10:1-6, "I want you to know, Brethren, that although our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; and all as followers of Moses were baptized in the cloud and in the sea; and all ate the same spiritual food; and drank the same spiritual drink: for they drank from the Supernatural Rock that followed them, which Rock was Christ. Nevertheless with most of them God was not pleased, and He destroyed them in the wilderness. Now these things occurred as examples for us, not to desire evil as they did".

Having put your shoulder to the plough, do not be discouraged and turn from the Word and its promises to this world's transitory pleasures. Though we are so under-serving, with so much self to lay aside in so little time, the Lord will bring the work to completion and cut it short in righteousness, because it is "His good work." These Israelites who saw the Lord smite the Egyptians with plagues, bring water from the Rock and open a path through the Red Sea, came to the Promised Land and tasted its fruits then disbelieved His power to conquer its mortal inhabitants, type borderline Christians who recognize the Prophet, believe and even grasp an intellectual understanding of his Message yet fail to trust God to honour His Word. Jesus said those Israelites died spiritually, and their names were removed from the Book of Life (John 6:47; Exodus 32:33; Psalm 95:10-11; Luke 6:46-49; Hebrews 6:4-8).

Some people imagine Abraham was an Israelite which is impossible since Israel was his grandson. Others claim he was a Jew but Judah was his great grandson so Abraham could not have been a Jew. In any event this word is an abbreviation for Judean with reference to residency, not to race or religion. Abraham was a Gentile, an Iraqi, against whose people the Jews' empire of the City of London has been committing genocide for the past twenty years (Genesis 27:41). Besides, his new name, Abraham, means "father of the Gentiles".

Abraham's great, great grandson, Joseph was a perfect type of Christ, and because he was Spiritual and the firstborn of his favourite wife he was especially loved by his father but rejected by his brothers who wanted to kill him and sold him as a slave. He was resold in Egypt where the Lord prospered everything he did. Eventually he was raised to the right hand of Pharaoh as Jesus was raised to the right hand of the Father, and no man could come to Pharaoh but through Joseph as no man can come to the Father but through the Son. Estranged from his people, Joseph married a Gentile Bride and she bore his children, and during His estrangement Jesus has married a Gentile Bride who has borne His offspring (Isaiah 65:23).

When Joseph made himself known to His Brethren they were his servants and he was their lord. Hiding his wife and children into the palace and dismissing his Gentile guards and attendants, he said, "I am Joseph your Brother." His Brothers feared retribution, but Joseph said, "Do not be distressed nor angry with yourselves because you sold me here: for God sent me before you to save your life. These two years of famine will grow to seven, during which there will be neither ploughing nor harvest. God has sent me here to keep you and your families alive, so that you will become a great nation" (Genesis 45:5-7). And when our Joseph reveals Himself to Israel, His brethren of the flesh, they will be His servants; His Wife will be hidden in the heavenly palace, the Gentile dispensation will be over and the whole world dismissed from His Presence. The 144,000 elect Israelites will separate from their non-elect kith and kin and mourn their unbelief and that of their forefathers who rejected Messiah declaring, "His Blood be upon us and upon our children." Then the Lord Jesus will console them with the revelation, "God allowed your unbelief in order to save the Gentiles and redeem your Queen, My Gentile Bride".

Very soon there will be two classes of people: those who have the Seal of God, and those with the mark of the beast. Jesus said the two spirits will be so alike, only the elect would not be deceived, "and all the non-elect upon earth will worship the beast" (Matthew 24:24; Revelation 13:8).

I am convinced we are not as familiar and comfortably intimate with our Spiritual Husband as we ought to be, because we are under condemnation through past sins and present mistakes, like Paul before he caught the revelation it was not he under "new man" of his regenerated soul that sinned, but his unregenerate flesh and mortal spirit in which sin dwells, and which are "sold under sin" by Adam's action in taking Eve back to himself as Christ drew us to Himself (Romans 7).

Like Paul we must accept that our past sins are not only forgiven, they have been remitted and placed on the shoulders of Satan, our former defacto husband and god of this evil age whose nature once ruled us body, spirit and soul. You, your soul is redeemed, but you must keep your mortal spirit and flesh under subjection to your Husband because they were born in sin. No true believer is any stronger and spiritually healthy and alive than his knowledge of and adherence to the pure Word of God because "the word of God is full of living power, and sharper than any twoedged sword, penetrating swiftly and deeply to the division of soul and spirit, of the joints and marrow, and judges the innermost thoughts and intents of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12).

God's Word is the Absolute against which our motives and objectives are judged in the court of conscience which bears witness to righteousness, pronouncing sentence in His Name according to revelation after a good or bad act or inclination as our thoughts accuse or excuse one another, pleading in this court to persuade the conscience this way, or that. This judicial process, which takes place in the heart of every man, is a forerunner of the Great White Throne Judgment where the life of the sinner will be played back in his mind in the fraction of a second (Romans 2:15-16).

Brother Branham prayed, "Dear God, as I know that this is paged on the Book, the great record. We have blundered into science, Lord, enough to wake us up, for realities to know that every move that we make goes around and around the world the same time we make it. We've got that through television. We do realize, Father, that television doesn't manufacture a picture; it only channels the vibrations into a tube that displays the picture. Even the color of clothes that we've got on shows through the ether waves of the air, that vibration around the world. Then how is our sisters with them clothes on, acting like that, and not even hungering—painted faces, cut hair. . . Ministers that would go to theology, some seminary, and take the things of man's word, which by their traditions makes the commandments of God of no effect upon the people. . . By their traditions, saying, they should belong to church and that's all. . . Oh, God, do they realize that every word we say, scientifically proven, it's on a record, and it starts when we start living in this earth; it ends when we die; and it's put in God's album to be played back again at the judgment? How are we going to escape it, the damnation of God, if the thing has been made so clear before us and yet we turn it down. Oh, dear God, these words never die; they go on and on. The record will be played at the day of the judgment. You seen those hands that went up, Father. It'll be right there at the day of judgment. Also what their heart was thinking will be there at the day of judgment."

"Now, Father God, I ask You, as Your servant, I pray that You will take all the iniquity away from Your people: "iniquity," "something that we know we should do and don't do it." David said, "If I conceive iniquity in my heart, God will not answer my prayer." I pray, God, that You'll take our iniquity, 'cause the Word is Your looking glass that shows us up, how short we are of being sons and daughters of the King. Father, I pray that You'll do it tonight" (Things That are To Be, p. 43:144-145).

I John 3:18-22, "Little children, let us not love in word and speech, but in deed and in truth. Then we will know by our actions that we are of the truth, and our conscience will be clear in His Presence. For if our heart condemns us and we feel we have done wrong, God will surely be more conscious of our condemnation for He knows everything we do. Beloved ones, if our heart does not condemn us, then have we confidence toward God, and whatsoever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and practice what is pleasing in His sight".

Listen by faith to the Word who is the Husband of your redeemed soul, which has one sense—faith, or doubt. Do not allow the senses of your unredeemed spirit—conscience, memory, affection, imagination and reasoning; or of your unredeemed body—sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell to persuade you to doubt God's Word. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, [heard, touched, tasted, smelled, remembered or reasoned]" (Hebrews 11:1). By faith you are commanded to bring your body and mortal spirit subject to the Husband of your soul (I Corinthians 9:27; Psalm 139:23-24). Paul said, "I die daily" (I Corinthians 15:31).

Romans 8:33b, "God says, I am righteous." Are you going to believe God and hold to His grace, or are you willing to allow your ten worldly senses to disempower and bring you under condemnation? Romans 8:1-2, "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the Law of sin and death".

Sometimes we are condemned by thoughts of the past which cause us to shudder, and say, "Oh, no"! But we should not exhume and breathe life into our "old man" who is dead and buried—those sins and regrets have been remitted so that even God has no recollection of them. So "forgetting the things which past, and looking forward to what lies ahead, press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:13-14).

Grace, grace! The Capstone cried (Zechariah 4:7). Thank you, Lord! One more reason why we should forgive those who have trespassed against us is to extend grace that they may not be hindered in their lives. We need to maintain a clear conscience that we may have confidence to stand before the presence of our Husband and Lord and ask what we will. A husband or a wife either in the natural or in the Spiritual cannot sustain the relationship wherever there is suspicion or a bad conscience.

In the beatitudes, which the pastor of one of my home Churches defined by saying, "let this be your attitude," the Lord gave instructions for godliness quite contrary to the materialistic "I, me and myself" ways of the world. Matthew 5:38-48, "You have heard it said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil: but whoever strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other as well. And if anyone would sue you for your shirt, let him have your coat as well. And whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to one who begs from you and do not refuse the borrower."

"You have heard that it was said, You shalt love your neighbour, and hate your enemy. But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be the [placed] Sons of your Father who is in heaven: for He makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what is your merit? Do not the tax collectors do as much? And if you greet only your brothers, how does your conduct excel? Do not even the pagans so? You therefore are to be perfect, as your Father in heaven is perfect".

The recognition of your true identity begins at the altar of your heart on which you offer the sacrifice of faith, prayer and praise. When your faith is accepted you know you have a theophany or celestial body which is your angel, a ministering spirit and flame of Fire from the Shekinah of God's glorious Logos, that once hung on Calvary's cross (Psalm 104:4; II Kings 6:17). The souls of the Church Age saints clothed in their celestial bodies left heaven and descended with the Lord Jesus when He returned with the open Book (I Thessalonians 4:13-16; Revelation 10:1). And when the Seventh Trumpet sounds the end of the Gentile dispensation, those celestial bodies will put on glorified material bodies, and after we have manifested that we are the Sons of God, we will be changed into glorified flesh without death and our theophany will replace our mortal spirit.



Ephesians 1:9, "Having made known to us in all wisdom and insight the secret mystery of His purpose, according to His kind intention which He set forth in Christ," that is, the mystery of God that is finished in the days of the Voice of the seventh angel: "who" our Lord Jesus Christ is, not one of three, three of one, or six of one and half a dozen of the other, but the Person of God manifest in a virgin-born kinsman to redeem believers of Adam's race (Genesis 14:18-19; Hebrews 7; Revelation 10:1-7). And He revealed the mystery of your person "seated in heavenly places [from the foundation of the world] together with every other member of the Body of Christ" (Ephesians 2:6). "Heavenly places" is the believer's position in the Logos as illustrated in this pyramid-shaped diagram that shows who you are and delineates your joint-inheritance and co-regency in the Kingdom with Christ (Ephesians 1:11).

The baptism with the Holy Ghost is the seal and guarantee of your full adoption when "the good work God began in you" with a Word-born soul will be brought to completion with a renewed body born by your faith in His spoken Word as His body was born by Mary's faith in His spoken Word. The purpose of Brother Branham's Message and of teaching is "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, might grant you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation for an understanding in the knowledge of Himself, having the eyes of your heart enlightened that you may know the nature of the hope to which you are called, and what is the wealth of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and the overwhelming greatness of His [resurrection] power for us believers" (Ephesians 1:17-19).

When Los Angeles sinks, the latter rain of the Holy Spirit will sweep the earth. "The wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked will understand; but the wise shall understand. . . the evildoer will still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy" (Daniel 12:10; Revelation 22:11).

Ephesians 1:22-23, "God has put everything under Jesus' feet, and made Him the Supreme Head over all things for the Church, which is His body, the full manifestation of His Being imparted to her in virtue of her union to Him". The corporeal Church is the continued revelation of His divine Life in human form while He is, by Himself, "the author and perfecter of our faith . . . the fullness of the [nature and character and virtues] of the godhead revealed bodily." All God is He poured into Christ, and all Christ, and all Christ is He poured into His Church (John 17:23).

John 14:12-14, "He who believes in Me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to the Father. Whatever you ask in My Name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you shall ask anything in My Name, I will do it." Why, because you are inseparably one with the Lord Jesus and predestinated unto the adoption of Sons by Jesus Christ to God Himself. nl589.htm

China Decision to buy $80 Billion of Gold, the Dragon's Hoard
June 25, 2009 – We've got a situation where Geithner is smiling and has no choice but to stress the credibility and stability of the US financial and economic system, while the creditors [such as the Chinese] smile back and say they believe him, at the same time giving hand signals to their reserve managers to get rid of these things [US Treasuries]"—Neil Mellor, Bank of New York-Mellon. When China recently expressed its interest in purchasing $80 billion in gold (about 2,600 tonnes), it profoundly altered the gold market's long-standing synergy in three significant ways:

First, it used to be that the threat of central bank gold sales would damage market sentiment. Now the threat of significant sales has been met with the threat of significant purchases.

Though the dragon hoard depicted by our good friend, Ed Stein is not yet a reality, China can back its desire to own gold with plenty of cold hard cash. At nearly $1.4 trillion in dollar-based assets, and almost $2 trillion in total reserves, $80 billion would consume a paltry 6% of China's dollar reserves. At the same time 2,600 tonnes translates to roughly one-third the US gold reserve—a significant ambition by any measure. To give you an inkling of how this new synergy might work, when the International Monetary Fund announced recently it would like to sell about 400 tonnes of gold, China joined India in publicly pressing the IMF to sell its entire 3,200 tonne hoard. On that news the gold market, which had been in a slow slide as a result of the IMF's announcement, turned and took another run at the $1,000 mark.

Second, by becoming gold's most prominent champion, China mounts an aggressive defense of its domestic gold mining industry, and by proxy the rest of the industry as well.

Few people know that over the last few years China has quietly become the world's leading gold producer. Most of that production never leaves China's borders, but goes instead to the national reserves as a hedge against its currency holdings. China, by the simple expedient of defending its own interest, accomplishes much for the gold mining industry as a whole. By posing as a gold buyer of last resort, ready, willing and able to scoop up any sizable offer, China may have very well put a floor under the market price, though we are too early in the game at this juncture to predict what that price might be. . .

Third, by elevating gold to prominence in its national reserves, China lays the groundwork for the yuan's future use as a prominent reserve currency. There is little doubt that China would like to make the yuan the currency of choice in the East and a strong measure of gold in its reserves would do much to enhance that possibility. . .

Comment: Late last week American officials confirmed that the US$134bn in US Treasury bonds discovered in possession of two Japanese men at the Italian-Swiss frontier were forgeries. The men, it appeared, were nothing more than ambitious scamsters. But many remain unconvinced. And whether fake or otherwise, the story underlines one important point about the world economy at the moment: that the tension and paranoia surrounding the fate of the US dollar has hit a new high. It went to the heart of the big question: will the central bankers in Japan, China and elsewhere continue to support the greenback even in the wake of the worst financial crisis in modern history, or will they abandon it as America's economic hegemony dissipates?

9/11 FEMA Videographer at Ground Zero goes Public
As official videographer for the US government, Kurt Sonnenfeld was detailed to Ground Zero on September 11, 2001, where he spent one month filming 29 tapes: "What I saw at certain moments and in certain places . . . is very disturbing!" He never handed them over to the authorities and has been persecuted ever since. Kurt Sonnenfeld lives in exile in Argentina, where he wrote "El Perseguido" (the persecuted). His recently-published book tells the story of his unending nightmare and drives another nail into the coffin of the government's account of the 9/11 events:

There were many things, in hindsight, that were disturbing at Ground Zero. It was odd to me that I was dispatched to go to New York even before the second plane hit the South Tower, while the media was still reporting only that a "small plane" had collided with the North Tower—far too small of a catastrophe at that point to involve FEMA. FEMA was mobilized within minutes, whereas it took ten days for it to deploy to New Orleans to respond to Hurricane Katrina, even with abundant advance warning! It was odd to me that all cameras were so fiercely prohibited within the secured perimeter of Ground Zero, that the entire area was declared a crime scene and yet the "evidence" within that crime scene was so rapidly removed and destroyed. And then it was very odd to me when I learned that FEMA and several other federal agencies had already moved into position at their command center at Pier 92 on September 10th, one day before the attacks!

We are asked to believe that all four of the "indestructible" black boxes of the two jets that struck the twin towers were never found because they were completely vaporized, yet I have footage of the rubber wheels of the landing gear nearly undamaged, as well as the seats, parts of the fuselage and a jet turbine that were absolutely not vaporized. . . After September 11, it was discovered that concealed within Building Seven was the largest clandestine domestic station of the Central Intelligence Agency outside of Washington DC, a base of operations from which to spy on diplomats of the United Nations and to conduct counterterrorism and counterintelligence missions.

There was no underground parking level at Seven World Trade Center. And there was no underground vault. Instead, the federal agencies at Building Seven stored their vehicles, documents and evidence in the building of their associates across the street. Beneath the plaza level of US Customs House (Building 6) was a large underground garage, separated off from the rest of the complex’s underground area and guarded under tight security. This was where the various government services parked their bomb-proofed cars and armored limousines, counterfeit taxi cabs and telephone company trucks used for undercover surveillance and covert operations, specialized vans and other vehicles. Also within that secured parking area was access to the sub-level vault of Building 6.

When the North Tower fell, the US Customs House (Building 6) was crushed and totally incinerated. Much of the underground levels beneath it were also destroyed. But there were voids. And it was into one of those voids, recently uncovered, that I descended with a special Task Force to investigate. It was there we found the security antechamber to the vault, badly damaged. At the far end of the security office was the wide steel door to the vault, a combination code keypad in the cinderblock wall beside it. But the wall was cracked and partially crumbled, and the door was sprung partially open. So we checked inside with our flashlights. Except for several rows of empty shelves, there was nothing in the vault but dust and debris. It had been emptied. Why was it empty? And when could it have been emptied? . . . The vault had to have been emptied before the attack. . . Full story: republicbroadcasting.org

Comment: George II and the thugs of this conspiracy in the alien-controlled US Administration claimed invading US troops in their vicious unprovoked war against Iraq, following years of regular bombing by the UK and US, that Iraq would welcome the invaders with flowers. 4,321 dead US soldiers, a million or more innocent Iraqis and six and a quarter years after the 2003 invasion based upon George II's lies, the US has withdrawn its combat troops from Iraq's cities in ignominy, leaving 130,000 troops. Shame America. Shame!

Did Bibi Box Obama In?
May 23, 2009 – On September 20, 2002, as the War Party was beating the drum for preventive war on Iraq, lest we wake up to "a mushroom cloud over an American city," the Wall Street Journal introduced an eminent voice to confirm that, yes, Saddam was driving straight for an atomic bomb.

"This is a dictator who is . . . feverishly trying to acquire nuclear weapons," wrote Bibi Netanyahu, former prime minister of Israel. . .

That war has cost 4,500 American dead and 35,000 wounded. It has brought death to perhaps a hundred thousand Iraqis. Four million people have been driven from their homes, 2 million, including half the Christians, into exile. Hundreds of thousands of fatherless Iraqi children are being raised by women widowed by that war. . .

Iran represents no threat to the United States to justify a war. And as Korea finished Harry Truman, Vietnam finished LBJ, and Iraq finished the Bush Republicans, war with Iran would make Barack—with the situations in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq all deteriorating—a one-term president. Barack had best understand. The crowd manipulating him into war with Iran has in mind, first, obliterating Iran; second, getting rid of him. Full story: original.antiwar.com

Comment: "By Way of Deception Thou [Israel] shalt do War." Netanyahu is provoking Ezekiel 38:5.

Viva Palestina—A Lifeline from the USA to Gaza
June 23, 2009 – We were all moved to tears of grief and anger when the Zionist state launched its murderous bombardment against the people of Gaza in December and January. Millions of us took to the streets in unprecedented protests around the globe. Each and every one of us has asked himself what more he can do to help stop the suffering.

The inspirational pro-Palestinian British MP, George Galloway, decided that while it is necessary to speak out—in his case with great force and eloquence—it is actions that speak louder than words. While the bombs were still showering down on Gaza, Galloway decided to organize a humanitarian convoy that would start in Britain, drive through France and Spain, and across North Africa to arrive in Gaza with aid, even as all borders to the devastated region were under complete blockade. In just five short weeks, he pulled together 107 vehicles—including ambulances and a fire engine—255 people and $2 million of aid, which set off from London on February 14. Some 23 days and 5,500 miles later it arrived in Gaza to tumultuous acclaim.

Now, Galloway is heading a second convoy—this time from the USA. The Vietnam War veteran and activist Ron Kovic has readily agreed to be co-leader of the convoy. The convoy's aim is to take hundreds of US citizens in 500 vehicles, bearing $10 million in medical aid from Cairo to Gaza. Convoy participants will leave from JFK airport on July 4. . . Neturei Karta International is proud to be one of those organizations. Anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews know that the recent Gaza operation is only the latest link in the long chain of bloodshed that has been going on for as long as the Zionist state, built on a land stolen from its rightful inhabitants, has been in existence. A true Jew cannot look on idly while such crimes take place. The Torah commands us "Thou shalt not steal" and "Thou shalt not murder." Nor can a Jew ignore the plight of the victims of those crimes. The Torah teaches us to emulate G-d's attribute of "mercy upon all His creations" (Psalms 145:9), and this means mercy for all human beings, without regard to religion, race or color. All Jews indeed lived by this principle for centuries, until the Zionist heretics came, rejected G-d’s Torah and the observance of its commandments, and replaced it with their own racist and nationalist ideal.

Obama gets Billions for 'Pandemic' Swine Flu
June 25, 2009 – Buried amid news stories about World Breastfeeding Week, World Suicide Prevention Day and World Rabies Day, the WHO has a small item giving the latest supposed count of 'laboratory confirmed' H1N1 cases. It is something on the order of 55,000 persons worldwide since this April at a factory pig farm in Veracruz Mexico a small child got ill and the world was told of a deadly new 'Swine Flu' that was allegedly spreading from pig to person. Yet the US Government is gearing up as if it were preparing for the new outbreak of the dreaded 1918 'Spanish Flu' pandemic. The reality does not support the government response. Is something else going on?

Although neither the WHO nor the US Government's Centers for Disease Control nor the Robert Koch Institute nor the Pasteur Institute nor any government or private agency in the world has yet to scientifically isolate, to photograph with means of electron microscopy and to list the chemical characteristics of the 'novel H1N1 Influenza A virus' as it is now officially called, the WHO has seen fit to declare a global "Pandemic Alert" Phase 6 alarm. . .

What is conveniently obscured in most all media accounts of the WHO is the definition of their 'pandemic' declaration. A look at the official definition reveals that it relates merely to the number of countries in a given WHO region reporting cases of a given disease. Specifically, Phase 5, just below Pandemic is defined as 'sustained community level outbreaks in two or more countries in one WHO region. Phase 6 includes the Phase 5 conditions plus 'sustained outbreaks in at least one other country in another WHO region.' Full story: financialsense.com

Predestinated unto the Adoption of Sons by Jesus Christ to Himself – Part V


Revelation 18:1-8, "After the vision of the atomic obliteration of Vatican City State was revealed to him, John saw another Angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the whole earth was illuminated with His glory." John represents Christ's end-time Bride throughout the Book of Revelation, we know this because the Book was "sealed to the time of the end. . . but in the days of the Voice of the seventh Angel, [William Branham (1909-1965)], the mystery of God declared to His servants the prophets should be finished" (Daniel 12:4, 9; Revelation 10:4-7). This Angel was the fullness of the Spirit which came on the Prophet during the revelation of the Seals; it was "the" Son of man veiled behind "a" son of Man. The revelation of the Seven Seals brought Christ back to earth in W_O_R_D form (I Corinthians 13:10; I Thessalonians 4:16-16; Revelation 10:1-4).

"And He cried mightily with a strong Voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of demons, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies."

"And I heard another Voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, lest you partake of her sins, and share in her plagues. For her sins have piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Repay her as she has rendered you, and repay her double for her crimes: in the cup she has mixed, mix her a double portion. As she has glorified herself and lived in sensuality, give her like measure of torment and mourning: for she says in her heart, I sit as queen, I am no widow, and shall never see sorrow. Therefore her plagues shall come in one day, pestilence, mourning, and famine; and with fire she shall be utterly burned up. For the Lord God who judges her is mighty".

As the Bride of all Ages will be translated in one day to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb in the sky, and the nation of Israel will be born-again in one day, Rome will be made desolate in one day.

This heavenly Angel is the Archangel Christ; what He spoke through Brother Branham on earth God echoed from heaven in confirmation. When the last member predestinated to Christ's end-time Bride has answered the call to come out of Rome and her once Protestant daughters "into the unity of the faith" the Gentile dispensation will close with an earthquake that sinks Los Angeles (Matthew 25:6; I Thessalonians 4:14-17; Revelation 14:9-13; 18:21-24). "After this [earthquake] . . . the end-time Bride hears the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigns. Let us be glad and rejoice, and honour Him: for the marriage of the Lamb has come to pass, and His wife has made herself ready. And it is granted to her to be dressed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousnesses of the saints. Then the Angel said to me, Write, Blessed are they who are called to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. And He said to me, These are the true sayings of God" (Revelation 19:1; 6-9).

Christ calls His people out from organized religion because He is no longer a mediator for ignorance of the Word. And after the fullness of the revealed Word has illuminated the world through the printed and recorded "letter only" of the Message, and "in the Spirit" through Christ's end-time Bride "prophesying the revelation of the Message again before many peoples and nations and tongues, and kings," the Bride is dressed in THUS SAITH THE LORD of the Message, and the unrepentant world church system having committed the unforgivable sin must be destroyed, for God cannot bless what He has cursed nor curse what He has blessed (Revelation 10:8-11; Hebrews 6:4-8; I John 5:16-17; Numbers 22-24).

The Lord has sent and vindicated the prophet William Branham in our day, but he was not just a prophet, Brother Branham was the covenant Prophet who foreran and introduced Christ's second or 'parousia' Coming. So the soul that does not receive his Message will be cast into the great tribulation (Malachi 4:6; I Thessalonians 5:1-5; II Thessalonians 2:7-13; Revelation 22:17-19). We are required to understand and live by the revelation—NOT the "letter only" of his THUS SAITH THE LORD. We are already placed in Christ by our new birth as stage one of our adoption. Having recognized we are living in the holy convocation of the fiftieth day of the antitype of Israel's feast of Pentecost we must do no servile work like trying to "work" our way to righteousness or interpret the Scriptures, as Christ completed salvation's "work" on Calvary and has now given us the perfect interpretation of His Word. Like Ruth after Boaz had performed his duty as her kinsman redeemer, we are to rest in the SON-Light of the mighty Angel who illuminated the earth with His glory until it takes all the "I, me and myself" out of us and we come under pre-eminence to Him through the inspiration of faith, not the groundless hope of ignorant belief in the "letter only." This bring us to the second stage of our adoption or placing, which is maturity under pre-eminence to the Word in preparation for the manifestation of the Sons of God after the sinking of Los Angeles when God will honour our inspired words spoken under pre-eminence to gather glory through us and instill us with faith for translation grace and our "full adoption".

Here is a lesson from the Old Testament for Christ's end-time Bride. Shemaiah was a prophet under Rehoboam, commissioned to charge the king and his 180,000 warriors not to fight against their brethren of Israel, but to return every man to his house instead of striving to regain northern Israel from Jeroboam (I Kings 12:21; II Chronicles 11:2), for the severance was the Lord's doing (I Kings 11:26-39; 12:15, 23).

Now God sent Shemaiah to Jeroboam who had set up golden calves in Bethel and in Dan, built shrines at high places and ordained priests from the rank and file of those who were not Levites. Finding Jeroboam burning incense by the altar at Bethel he prophesied against the altar, declaring a prince of Judah named Josiah would be born to the house of David, and he will sacrifice the priests upon the altar of the counterfeit temple at Bethel. (Thus Josiah was named 300 years before he was born as Isaiah named Cyrus 150 years before he was born). "And he said, This is the sign that the Lord has spoken: This altar shall split and its ashes will spill to the ground." The king immediately stretched forth his hand and commanded Shemaiah's arrest, but his arm became paralyzed in that position as a wide crack appeared in the altar and its ashes poured out, vindicating the Word of God's prophet from whom the king begged prayer that his arm might be made whole. He did so and his arm was restored.

King Jeroboam now invited the prophet to his home for refreshments and a reward, but Shemaiah declined, saying, "Even if you gave me half your palace, I will not go in with you, and I will not eat bread or drink water in this place: the Lord has charged me strictly not to eat or even drink water in this place, and not to return to Judah on the road by which I came. So he went back another way." But another prophet met him and extended hospitality, with the assurance that the Lord had spoken to him by an angel directing Shemaiah to eat and drink at his home. But he lied.

THUS SAITH THE LORD brings eternal Life when it is received into a heart of faith but damnation when it is rejected, for God does not change His mind on His Word (Malachi 3:6; John 3:18; Hebrews 13:8). So when Shemaiah reasoned with the words of a lying prophet against the vindicated simplicity of THUS SAITH THE LORD, God took his life. He surely knew that God's first decision is absolute and that He can never change His mind on His Word. Galatians 1:6-9, "I am amazed that you are so readily deserting God who called you by the grace of Christ, and turning to a different gospel: not that there is another gospel, but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel that differs from what we have preached, let him be accursed. I will say it again: If any man preaches any other gospel contrary to what you have received, let him be accursed".

The Lord had rejected Jeroboam's carnal offering and his impersonation of the faith delivered by His prophets. Not even THUS SAITH THE LORD brought true repentance to this apostate king, and the northern kingdom of Israel was ultimately dissolved on account of its idolatry as Revelation 17 and 18 prophesy God will destroy the counterfeit church because of her idolatrous impersonation of Christianity.

Hebrews 10:38-39, "He whom I find righteous shall live by faith: but if he shrinks back, My soul will not be pleased in him. But we are not of those who shrink back to perdition".

Brother Branham said, "the mere association of kind hearted people with the true believer might well bring death in return for their kindness" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 116:1). Although Shemaiah was illuminated and endured a great flight of afflictions, first in turning Judah from idolatry (II Chronicles 12), and then in prophesying against Jeroboam and Israel, he cast away his confidence in God's command with its rich reward, and God took his life (I Kings 13:23-26).

We must make our calling and election sure by building our faith on the Rock of revelation from Above, against which the gates of hell shall not prevail. After he is cast down to earth Satan will not be bluffed by denominational psychology or Message quotes without revelation; and the 'third pull' will only operate when God recognizes you as His Son and does what you have spoken because you have done as He has spoken. In that day your only hope and stay will be the Lord Jesus; unless you have THUS SAITH THE LORD and He confirms your word as He confirmed Shemaiah's word by fracturing the altar and pouring out its ashes almost as he spoke, you will enter the tribulation.

Shemaiah listened to an enticing spirit speaking through another prophet: the mystery of iniquity is already working in the children of disobedience and God is allowing them to delude those who are not born-again "that they should believe the lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (II Thessalonians 2:7-12). We must say the right thing to God, not be deceived on the "letter only" of Brother Branham's THUS SAITH THE LORD without its revelation like the denominational world is deceived on Jesus' THUS SAITH THE LORD without its revelation as in Matthew 28:19.

THUS SAITH THE LORD in continuity from Genesis to Revelation is the only Rock that will not be moved, the One Rock on which you can stand. All other ground is shifting sand. All other ground is shifting sand. Brother Kerry Spencer-Salt wrote the following words which are instructive to those who have truly entered Christ's rest in this last day to the point at which they trust Him to overcome, heal, reveal or provide . . . and then stand.




THE STEADFAST PRINCIPLE—The Fighting Position of Grace
It occurred to me to say that the great weapons of our warfare are defensive, then I was given the following:

The apostle Paul laboured in Ephesians over the weapons of our warfare but his frame of reference for them all is not to say they are of attack but rather with them we must "stand".

"Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, TO STAND" (Ephesians 6:13).

When all is said and done, and at the end of the day and when we are fully armoured in the Kingdom, we are told not to attack but "to stand." This is bad sense in the flesh, for one general of the world has said, on being asked which side wins, "the one that advances." But this is not so in the Kingdom of God; rather we are told "to stand"!

The reason being that we are not in a kingdom of the flesh but the Kingdom of the Spirit, and it not just "a spirit" but the Spirit of God who has declared in His word "That no flesh should glory in His Presence" (I Corinthians 1:29).

If we attack, we attack in our strength and if we attack the glory goes to us—God will not have this! So the rule of the Kingdom is that we "stand," and in "standing," it is the armour of God that takes the pounding and enables us to stand, and here, the glory goes to He who made and formed the armour—the glory goes to God. Our job is to praise God for the armour He has given us!

How then do we achieve victory if we cannot fight. The answer is that we must understand that the glory must go to God—we must be in a position where God will fight for us. Hence, the weapons with which we fight are those that give God the glory. So it is not that we do not have weapons of attack, "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds" (II Corinthians 10:4).

So while the "weapons of our warfare are mighty" they are not of the flesh and they are not of attack. The weapons may be listed thus:



Faith in the revealed Word of God
Prayer, Praise
Sanctification
These weapons are powerful for they have as a foundation our own weakness, and from here God can give forth grace. In our humility "He gives more grace. Wherefore He says, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble" (James 4:6). In this fighting position of grace, it can be declared "My grace is sufficient for you: for My strength is made perfect in your weakness" (II Corinthians 12:9) for in our perfect weakness, the glory of any victory will go to God. When God is free to show this strength through His fallen but redeemed vessel, He is in a position to act and uphold His glory.

So as (in Prayer, Praise and Fasting and 'perfecting holiness') we declare our weakness, we place ourselves in a position where we can ask He who is strong to grant us the victory. This principle has never changed as we serve a God that does not change (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8) and this God has declared the steadfast principle, "WE MUST STAND".

Did Moses fight the pursuing Egyptian army?

"And Moses said to the people, FEAR YE NOT, STAND STILL, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will show to you today: for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you shall see again no more for ever" (Exodus 14:13).

Did Moses fight the pursuing Egyptian army? No, Moses did not fight: the answer Moses gave to the people was "Fear ye not, stand still"; Here the first children of God took on the prescribed armour and were "able to withstand in the evil day"; to withstand the evil day, "having done all, [they had] to stand"; this is the rule of the kingdom—so that the glory could go to the Lord.

This was the Moses' principle and it was the Word of the Lord to Jahaziel. When king Jehoshaphat was confronted by the enemy he humbled himself to the Word of God's prophet, who declared the first principle of spiritual fighting: "THE BATTLE IS THE LORD'S".

For Jahaziel said, "Hearken, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you king Jehoshaphat, THUS SAITH THE LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's" (II Chronicles 20:15).

Jehoshaphat continued with the second principle of spiritual fighting (STAND YE): "You will not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, STAND YE STILL, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you" (II Chronicles 20:17).

If you stand still, you will see the "salvation of the Lord"; if you fight you will see 'your salvation'; and this will be a poor salvation indeed for "Neither is there salvation in any other Name: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).

Jehoshaphat knew he was in a place where the salvation he and his army could bring would be a sorry salvation; indeed, it would be no salvation at all. He wanted a full salvation for his people, and this could only come from God, so he declared "for the battle is not yours, but God's. . . STAND YE STILL, and see the salvation of the Lord!"

Jehoshaphat knew the spiritual principles; he had faithfully declared them. But understanding is not enough in the kingdom; for it is not enough to know, we must also act on what we know (James 1:22)!

Jehoshaphat won the victory on his "evil day," with the third principle of spiritual fighting (PLACE YOURSELF IN WEAKNESS—SO GRACE MAY ABOUND). So Jehoshaphat (like Moses) asked his people to stand, and when he asked them to move, he asked them to move in their weakness so that the grace of God could be extended to them—he sent singers before the sword!

"And as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so you shall be established; believe His prophets, so you shall prosper. And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for His mercy endures for ever" (II Chronicles 20:20-21).

Moses destroyed Pharaoh with a rod and Jehoshaphat took singers before the sword. The rule of the kingdom is if you have won a victory, it is a small victory indeed for God will only allow the great victories to be won by Himself.

Thank you, Brother Kerry for that blessing.

Brother Branham said, "The outside religious world cries, "Who is this? What is this?" But we know what It is. We see the nature of It. We see what It does. Now, see if It's the Spirit of Christ. If It's the Spirit of Christ, it'd be like the woman standing at the well, a man and a woman. Now you and I won't be them, no, but the Spirit of Him is here, and He has to use my lips, because His body is setting at the right hand of God in glory. His Spirit is here. And then if my spirit becomes His Spirit and my spirit can get out of the way by a gift, just move back by a way I have doing it by a gift, then His Spirit will speak. Is that right?" (Who is This? #59-1122).

"A gift is not, "I got power to do this; I got power." Your power of a gift is get yourself out of the way. And the gift that God has give you, operates through that then (See?) after you're out of the way. See?" (Perseverant, p. 28:234).

In the Seventh Seal Brother Branham said, "Then heavens couldn't write that. Heavens can't know about it, nothing else, because there's nothing to go on. It's a relaxing time. It was so great till it's kept secret from the Angel" (The Revelation of the Seven Seals, p. 558). Brother Branham was saying that the holy convocation or fiftieth day of the antitype of the Pentecostal feast has begun and because we now have the perfect interpretation of the Word we must rest in revelation (not in the "letter only") of the Message, for revelation is the tiepost of the soul, the Spiritual umbilical cord through which God sustains and strengthens us with His Own Life until the "full adoption." Therefore we must not allow our ten senses to reason us out of this Spiritual holy convocation into the natural, material world by disrupting the divine communion but rest and allow revelation to lead us to our jubilee where faith is transformed into sight, this perishable puts on imperishability and this mortal puts on immortality.

We must learn to "let go and let God," because no matter how diligent we are in trying to work our way to righteousness, "There is none righteous, no, not one: there is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, no, not one" (Romans 3:10-12). Christ is our righteousness—Jehovah-Tsidkenu. He has won the victory; He has overcome and achieved for us; all of our promises and our hopes are in Him. On Him we must depend lest we crucify Him afresh as Moses, overcome by mortal senses, smote the Rock a second time. Typing church organization which failed God, he testified to the insufficiency of the Word and took glory to himself and God took Moses life. The Word is sufficient and if we are truly adopted or placed in the Word, we will bring our natural senses under pre-eminence that He may "finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth" (Romans 9:28).

Jesus' forty-day wilderness temptation types the proving of His end-time Bride during the manifestation of the Sons of God while the sleeping saints are being resurrected. Jesus did not apply His intellect to persuade His adversary, He simply spoke the revealed Word of God and stood His ground. The Word is our defense, our strength and strong shield. The Word was His sword, and the Word will be our sword. I don't believe we will be quoting Scripture but fulfilling Scripture as we speak our needs with authority like Jesus, when He commanded: "Begone, Satan, for it is written. . ."

"Christ in the True Church is a continuation of the Book of Acts. But the Book of Revelation shows how the antichrist spirit would come into the church and defile it, making it lukewarm, formal and powerless. It exposes Satan, revealing his works (the attempted destruction of God's people and the discrediting of God's Word) right down to the time he is cast into the lake of Fire. He fights that. He cannot stand it. He knows that if the people get the TRUE REVELATION of the TRUE CHURCH and what she is, what she stands for and that SHE CAN DO THE GREATER WORKS, she will be an invincible army. If they get a true revelation of the two spirits within the framework of the Christian church, and by God's Spirit discern and withstand the antichrist spirit, Satan will be powerless before her. He will be as definitely thwarted today as when Christ withstood his every effort to gain power over Him in the desert. Yes, Satan hates revelation. But we love it. With true revelation in our lives, the gates of hell cannot prevail against us, but we will prevail over them" (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, 15:3).

The purpose of teaching is to show us our place in the Word and establish us in our position in the Body. We must know who we are and by what authority we pray to speak with the assurance of Jesus when He said, "Destroy this Temple, and in three days I will raise it up" (John 2:19). Jesus knew precisely what He meant, and did not seek to justify His Words with his intellectuals who were not His sheep. And we who are predestinated unto the adoption of Sons by Jesus Christ to God Himself with THUS SAITH THE LORD will speak and stand as the Word manifests what we have said. nl588.htm
